Many people don't know how to change the guitar strings by themselves, so they bring the guitar to the instrument shop, which will cost more money than changing the guitar strings by themselves. What's more, it's fun to change the strings by yourself!

Steps

1

Change your strings one by one, from the sixth string to the first string. Release the sixth string by rolling the tuning head first. Second, cut the string off and use pliers to pull the peg on the bridge. Then take the string out.

Put one side of your new string into the bridge and remove the peg. Then put the other side of it into the hole of the tuning machine.

3

Stretch the string and reserve a length so that you can entwine the string on the tuning peg in loops.

4

Strain the string with one hand while you are tightening the tuning head with the other hand so that the loops on the tuning peg will be very tight.

5

Then tighten and tighten the tuning head until the string becomes horizontal.

Repeat these steps for other strings.

7

Tune the guitar.

Finish! You can cut the rest of the strings off or keep them for your own style!
